6 19/07/2007 TACT TA-4800T Handbook TACT TA-4800T 1. INTRODUCTION TACT, the Telephone Access Control Terminal, interfaces an MPT 1327 Trunking RF Control Base (Fixed Mobile) to any PABX/Key System internal analogue extension, or direct PSTN line. Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is used to initiate calls both to and from mobiles: Any mobile on the trunked system can call any telephone, using a DTMF microphone. Similarly, any DTMF dialing telephone can selectively call any mobile. 1.1 STANDARD FEATURES Voice prompts and responses make the system easy and straightforward to use. DTMF dialing. Call barring - programmable to enable/disable outside and long distance calls. Speed dialing of up to ninety-nine user pre-programmed telephone numbers. Last number redial. Automatic dialing of first Speed Dial number if mobile does not have a DTMF microphone. Audio buffer (digital delay) so that the beginning of sentences are not missed. Local Keypad programming. Full remote control. All service tone detection parameters, timers, and VOX timers and sensitivity are remotely programmable. Serial Interface. Standard interconnecting cable between RF control base radio and TACT (supplied). Calling party control of call connection/disconnection. Visual indicators include POWER (dc power on), Tx (PTT), Rx (Receive AF), CONNECT (Line seized), ON AIR (Radio connected), READY LEDs and a seven segment display. MAP 27 Interface (full implementation). 1RU, 19 rack mount (can also be put in a shelf or on a desk) Call logging facility (optional). Bilingual voice prompts (optional).

7 2. INSTALLATION BRIEF For more detail, please refer to Installation Details. 2.1 CONNECTING TACT TO THE TELEPHONE LINE & TO THE BASE RADIO TACT is connected to the PABX internal analogue extension or direct PSTN line using the RJ12 line cord provided. The RJ12 end is plugged into the socket at the back of TACT marked LINE 1'. The 605 end (other plugs to order) is plugged into a working telephone socket. When connecting TACT to a PABX internal analogue extension, this extension can be programmed to ring' when a designated exchange line number is called. This provides field access for callers calling in from any internal extension and/or from any outside line. 2.2 CONNECTING TACT TO THE BASE RADIO TACT is connected to the Base Radio using the Interconnecting cable supplied. For certain radio specific applications, a special cable will need to be custom made. If you are using a TAIT or SIMOCO radio, the base microphone, which must be a standard Mic (not a controller Mic), may also be plugged into the MIC socket at the rear of TACT. Calling mobiles from the base is then possible using the TACT keypad. In the case of SIMOCO PMR 80 radios, the Base Radio must be programmed for Partial Off Air Mode (POACSU), for use with a Controller Mic, NO DTMF Overdial and not to respond to Group Call. If you are using a TAIT, MOTOROLA, SIMOCO SRM9000 or NOKIA radio, it must have the MAP 27 Interface. The full MAP27 protocol is supported by TACT. Out-of-the-box, TACT supports RS232 data levels but it can be internally jumpered for TTL data levels (please note that RS232 mark/spaces are inverted when compared to TTL mark/spaces). TACT is powered by a 12Vdc 750mA power adaptor, or from the radio power supply unit where allowable. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 2

9 3. USER INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 CALLING A TELEPHONE FROM A RADIO Mobiles not already fitted with a DTMF dialing microphone will need to have one fitted in order to make selective telephone calls. 1. Call the base radio and listen for "Enter telephone number followed by hash (#)". 2. Dial the desired telephone number followed by #. 3. If you make a mistake, press star (*) and start again. 4. Listen for the normal ring tones etc. 5. When the telephone party answers, proceed with conversation. 6. To end the call, press the CALL button on the front of the radio or simply replace the Mic on the cradle. 3.2 CALLING A RADIO FROM A TELEPHONE Telephones used to call mobiles will need to have DTMF dialing capability. Portable DTMF Encoders or Pocket Tone dialers may be used if the telephone does not dial DTMF. 1. Dial the internal extension number or the exchange line number of TACT. 2. Listen for "Enter mobile number followed by hash". 3. Dial the two or three digit mobile number you wish to call followed by hash. 4. Listen for the Trunked System's call progress tones. 5. When the mobile answers, proceed with conversation. 6. To end the call, either: i) Simply hang up, or: ii) Press *# and then dial another mobile number. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 4

10 4. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS & FEATURES All user programmed data, system options and tone detection parameters can be verified or changed via the inbuilt Keypad. Remote programming is also possible from any DTMF Telephone. Simply dial up TACT and wait for answer. Then enter *671234# and listen for Please enter command. You can now program as normal. Data retained in memory (EEPROM) can also be interrogated and altered remotely at higher speed when TACT is accessed by the central control computer at Entropia. 4.1 SPEED DIALING Abbreviated (or speed) dialing of up to 99 of your most frequently called telephone numbers To Store Speed Dial Numbers 1. From the TACT Keypad, press *2. 2. Enter the required memory location xx, where xx = Enter the required telephone number (up to twenty digits). 4. Press #. The number will be displayed for confirmation. 5. Note the number down in the MEMORY DIAL INDEX (last page). 6. To check the number in memory, press *2xx#, where xx is the memory location To Call Speed Dial Numbers 1. Call the base radio and listen for "Enter telephone number followed by hash (#)". 2. Press #. 3. Enter required memory location (00-99). You will hear the number being dialed. 4. Proceed with the call Last Number Redial 1. Call the base radio and listen for "Enter number followed by hash (#)". 2. Press # #. You will hear the number being dialed. 3. Proceed with the call. 4.2 EXCHANGE LINE ACCESS FROM A PABX TACT can automatically insert a two second dialing pause after the first digit. This allows time for the second (exchange) dial tone to be obtained before TACT dials the outside number. From the Keypad of TACT: 1. Press * 6703# 2. Press *06 3. Press 0 for no dialing pause after first digit, or 1 for a dialing pause after first digit. 4. Press *#. 4.3 TYPE OF DIALING (DTMF) There are two types of dialing modes commonly used. Either DTMF ( Touch Tone ) or DECADIC (Pulse). Most telephone systems accept DTMF dialing, which is faster, so this is the default dialing mode for TACT. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 5

11 4.4 NUMBER OF RADIO IDENTITY DIGITS (TWO OR THREE DIGIT IDENTITY) Many fleets have radios with a two or three digit identity. When calling a radio from a telephone, you are asked by TACT to "Enter Radio Number followed by hash". Many telephone users however are not familiar with the term hash (#). TACT may be programmed to accept a two or three digit radio identity and then immediately dial the inputted number. Telephone users are then not required to enter hash (#) after the radio number. From the Keypad of TACT: 5. Press * 6703# 6. Press *35. TACT reads back the current setting eg. 00 (no limit). 7. Press 02 for two radio ID digits or 03 for three radio ID digits. TACT reads back 02 or Press *# to save the change. Notes: I. If it is required to make inter-fleet calls from the telephone, do not program the number of radio digits to less than seven (07). 4.5 AUTOMATIC DIALING OF A TELEPHONE NUMBER If mobiles are not fitted with DTMF dialing microphones, it is possible for TACT to automatically dial a preprogrammed when a call is received from the radio. The mobile user calls the base radio and receives ring tone while TACT dials the pre-programmed phone number. To Program Automatic Dialing of a Telephone Number From the Keypad of TACT: 1. Press * 85 nnn #, where nnn is the telephone number to be dialed automatically on receipt of a radio call. 2. Press * 85 0 # to turn this option off. 4.6 AUTOMATIC DIVERSION TO A MOBILE This mode is used to automatically divert incoming telephone calls to a mobile radio. When an incoming telephone call is received, TACT dials the mobile number stored in memory as programmed below. Callers into TACT will hear normal ringing tone until the call is answered at the mobile. To Activate Diversion Facility to a Mobile: From the Keypad of TACT: 1. Press * 86 nn #, where nn # is the mobile number to which telephone calls will be diverted. 2. Press * 86 0 # to turn this option off. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 6

12 4.7 CALL CLEAR DOWN AND FOLLOW-ON CALLS Automatic Disconnect The TACT TA-4800T will automatically disconnect a call when busy tone, dial tone, number unobtainable tone, line reversal or line loop current loss is detected on the telephone line Manual Clear Down and Follow-on Calls In addition to the automatic call disconnect, there is a manual radio clear down command: *#. (This works only from the telephone end to clear down the radio). This enables the telephone party to make a Follow-on call without having to redial TACT each time consecutive calls to mobiles need to be made. When a mobile is called from a telephone, and the mobile is not answering, you may press *# and then dial the same or another mobile. This may be continued until an answer is found, or when the telephone is hung up. Similarly, if a mobile rings out, you will hear "Mobile unattended" at which time you can press *# and dial the same or another mobile. If you are on a call to a mobile and wish to dial another mobile, simply press *# (before or within 4 seconds of the mobile hanging up otherwise the connection will be lost), and dial another mobile Forced Disconnect Please note that if you wish to force both the radio and telephone line to immediately disconnect without a follow-on call, press *# on the telephone or radio and just hang up. 4.8 VOICE PROMPTS The TA-4800T guides the user with voice prompts and responses such as "Enter telephone number followed by hash", and "Thank you... " etc. to confirm operating progress. 4.9 STATUS CALL When calling an unattended mobile, it is possible for the telephone party to leave a status message. When the person returns to the mobile, the status message may be used to identify the calling party so that the call can be returned. The status message may simply be the last two digits of the extension number, some other two digit code for Calling Line Identification (CLI), or a normal status message. To Leave a Status Message: Mobile is not answering or did not answer: 1. Press * # (within four seconds). You will hear "Enter mobile number followed by hash". 2. Press * 0 nn * mm... #, where nn = 1-9, (status message) and mm = mobile number to receive status message. No attempt is made to actually call mobile, just leave status message: 1. Call the base radio and listen for "Enter mobile number followed by hash (#)". 2. Press * 0 nn * mm... #, where nn = 1-9, (status message) and mm... = mobile number.

17 5.2 TAIT T2000 SERIES INFORMATION RADIO INTERNAL WIRING (TAIT T2000 SERIES WITHOUT DUAL UART) The TAIT T2000 Series dual UART option is the preferred interconnection method. If this is not available, then Tx and Rx audio does not normally appear on the TAIT facility connector. It must be connected to pins 6 and 1 as shown here. Modifications for TAIT T2000 for use with TA-4800 Trunked TACT The TAIT T2000 must have a T2000 A66 Single Port UART Fitted according to TAIT s Instructions Additionally there are two connections that need to be made between the data interface decoupling PCB (DB9) and the T2000 enhanced logic PCB (board that the UART board is fitted to) These additional connections provide Tx and RX Audio for connection to the TA Pin 1 Connection Pin 6 Connection FACILITY CONNECTOR (Data Interface Decoupling PCB) Shown installed (with Ribbon cable disconnected) S13 Connector connect pin 6 on Facility Connector DB9 (Audio in) to pin 6 on this connector S9 Connector connect pin 1 on Facility Connector DB9 (Audio out) to pin 6 on this connector T2000-A66 UART PCB Shown as installed Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 12

21 5.5 SIMOCO SRM9000 INTERFACE CABLE NOTES: At the time of writing, information on the SRM9000 MAP27 interface was sketchy. Design 2000 was able to successfully interface the TACT to the SRM9000 using the Simoco MA-ASIG option board. At the time of writing, the SRM9000 Radio Control Port defaulted to 19,200 baud, 8N1 format, TTL levels (0-5V) with inverted logic. The optional RS232 board (Simoco option board MA-ASIG) was required for 9600 baud, 8N1 format, RS-232 levels (± 12V nom.). It was also noted that the Option PTT audio path was operational in PMR mode but NOT in trunking mode. This may have since been incorporated. As specified in the UADG MAP27 Protocol Version 1.2 or later, ensure that the SRM9000 is configured for RS232 levels and that the baud rate is set to 9600 baud as extracted here: As the Option PTT audio path is not operational in trunking mode, it is necessary to make up a Y interface cable that routes audio via the radio control port as sketched here: Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 16

22 Using the SRM9000 Programming Cable with the inbuilt level converter, it is in theory possible to interface the TACT to the SRM9000 as follows but this had not been tested at the time of writing.

24 APPENDIX 1 - NETWORK CALL SET UP MODE The way in which calls are set up in an MPT 1327 Trunked Radio Network can vary depending on the particular network. This is referred to as the "Off Air Call Set Up (OACSU)" mode. It may be in the form of Full Off Air Call Set Up (FOACSU) or Partial Off Air Call Set Up (POACSU). If the Network is set for FOACSU (also referred to as manual answer), incoming calls are manually answered by TACT and then connected, ie. Network requires incoming call answer for call to be connected. A radio enabled for full off-air call setup functions more like a phone. The called radio rings until the user presses the PTT. Likewise, the user of the calling radio, if enabled for full off-air call setup, hears ringing until the user of the called radio answers. If the Network is set for POACSU (also referred to as automatic answer), incoming calls are automatically connected, ie. Network connects incoming call immediately. The system checks to see if the unit being called is in radio contact, before allocating a traffic channel for the call. No check is made to see if you can/want to accept the call. All MAP 27 compliant TACT units automatically adapt to either FOACSU or POACSU. APPENDIX 2 - CALL LOGGING FACILITY (OPTIONAL) All MAP 27 TACT units have a factory fitted option of providing caller or called party radio identification, global position (if fitted in vehicle), set up direction (phone to radio, radio to phone), telephone number dialed, call end and call duration. This information is provided on a second RS 232 port - an optionally fitted DB 9 connector on the back panel of TACT marked "CALL DATA". Call logging information (in ASCII) is sent to a Personal Computer where it can be directly displayed and/or processed as required. TACT is capable of generating several Log numbering formats for call identification, the format of which must be selected to suit. From the keypad of TACT: To Select MPT 1327 Log Numbering Format (Default): Press * 63 0 #. To Select MPT 1343 Log Numbering Format: Press * 63 1 #. To Select Short form Log Numbering Format: Press * 63 2 #. To Select No Numbering Information: Press * 63 3 #. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 19

25 APPENDIX 3 - GROUP CALL HANDLING All MAP 27 TACT units may be connected to a fixed mobile that is programmed to respond to group calls. There are several ways that TACT can handle a group call. By default, TACT makes the radio ignore group calls so that it doesn t interfere. 1. Group Call Ignore TACT denies telephone access to a group call. Any person dialing the TACT during a group call will receive a message "Call in progress, try again shortly". APPENDIX 4 - CALL ESTABLISHMENT USING A PERSONAL COMPUTER A4.1 Description If your TACT is fitted with the serial port used for the optional Call Logging Facility described in Appendix 2, then a PC may be used to establish calls requested by either a phone caller or a mobile radio caller. In addition, the PC can unconditionally disconnect any established call. The interconnect should be programmed to the Off state. This allows the PC to take charge of call establishment rather than the radio or telephone user. An operator located near the base radio answers radio or telephone calls, and places calls to the requested party, using a computer connected to TACT s serial port. Typically the commands issued by the computer would be generated by suitable software accessing a data base of stored numbers, with provision for manually entering a mobile or telephone number. If required, this PC software is provided by you. A4.2 Connection Your computer s serial port can be connected with a simple three wire connection, Tx, Rx and Ground. The TACT s standard serial port uses a 9 pin connector configured as Data Communication Equipment (DCE). Direct connection is required if the PC s serial port is a Data Terminating Equipment (DTE), which is the standard for IBM compatible COM ports. A null modem cable should be used if the PC uses a DCE connection, and a 9 pin to 25 pin adaptor if required. The PC port must be set up for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit. Operator Handbook for TACT TA-4800T G/01142 Page 20

26 A4.3 Commands Three ASCII commands are available, which are not echoed back to the PC: A4.3.1 Call Mobile The command is: MOBILEnnnnnn# Loop telephone line. Call mobile nnnnnn and pass control to TACT. At the end of the call TACT returns an idle state. Call logging described in Appendix 2 shows the set up and end of the call Short form numbers and interfleet calls using MPT1343 format are currently supported. A4.3.2 Call Telephone The command is: PHONEnnnnnn# Loop telephone and dial telephone number. Pass control to TACT as before. A4.3.3 Unconditionally hangup The command is: HANGUP# Unconditionally disconnect both phone and radio. A4.4 Possible Developments Software Version 4833 or later of this facility provides for operator intervention for calls in both directions: radio-to-telephone and telephone-to-radio. If required, future development could provide for a programmable option to select: 1. Operator intervention in either direction or both. 2. A programmed time during which calls could be intercepted by the operator, after which normal entering of the number would take place from telephone or radio.
